Seeing the hostility in Damon's eyes, Oliver let out a light laugh. "Mr. Sumner, I don't mean to offend. I've watched Buddy grow up, so protecting him is my responsibility."
Damon's expression remained cold. "I can protect my own son."
After saying that, he turned to Nyla, his face impassive. "If you move in with Mr. Raynor, then Buddy can move back to the villa. If you and Buddy continue living here, I will send more people to protect you both. I won't allow anyone to take advantage of the situation."
Noticing the heavy atmosphere, Mason fell silent, lowering his head and softening his breath.
Nyla pressed her lips together.
After a long moment, she finally said, "I understand. Buddy and I will continue living here."
A bit of the frost in Damon's gaze melted away as he put Mason down and stood up. "It's getting late. I won't disturb you any longer."
After saying goodbye to Mason, he turned and left.
Oliver stood up and said softly, "Nyla, I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I should head back too. I'll send a few people to protect you and Buddy. I won't let anyone harm you."
"No need, with Mr. Sumner—"
Oliver interrupted her, his voice gentle yet firm, "Nyla, you're my girlfriend, and I've watched Buddy grow up. You both mean a lot to me.
"Mr. Sumner's security might be sufficient, but if I don't do anything, I won't feel right about it, so please don't refuse me."
Nyla sighed and didn't respond further.
As Oliver left Nyla's place, his expression gradually turned cold.
Once downstairs, he saw Damon waiting a short distance away, just as he had expected.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
